Thele are many ways in which
people have -e. pressed .,,,,,the
meaning of miracles ' and also
think- of them in many and
varied . forms. Still they are
looked -upon -s- as ways- in y which
God is speaking to mankind. The
miradles of Jesus have been
-condoned, criticized,
misunderstood and interpreted
in ways that have often been
misconstrued. They still remain
as the 'works, wonders and 'signs
which God used through Christ's
teaching to translate His Divine
will to the people.
: The central. or most
important feature �of any of the
dr
miracles performed by Christ
have their true significance in
their teaching and ' illustrative
powers. This influence has often
been conveyed by the physical
,power of -comfort, peace that
" has been. brought out of the
turmoil of nature,, the
encouragement which has been
expressed through .faith and
countless other characteristics.
The miracles of Jesus drew upon
the faith of each personality that, •
was a receiver from, the

spiritual powers.
Christ's•miracles suggested a
power that was always used for

'expressed, that . faith without
miracles lacks 'a supporting
influence.fl. What Christ is really _
saying to the servant is, "You
-cannot see. God, no one has seen
Him, can-- you not trust ' me"?'
This ,speaks very clearly of the
importance .that we must know".
Christ in other ways than
.through 'the super -natural. God
thust be revealed through the
faith that radiates in the, person.
Of His son. This miracle very
clearly illustrates that Jesus did m
not allow an inadequate belief to
stop Hiro from hearing the Cry
of the needy, "Come down ere
my _ child • die". Then we see
Christ offering comfort :in his
reply "Go tliy son liveth".:
• Whatever was the exact
nature of the power which
Cyst' • exercised in his teaching
and healing ministry it was
revealed in the miracles which so
often expressed his
characteristics. The belief in that
time of history was that the
working of miracles was free
from anything divine and was
the power of some supernatural
force at work. This view was
supported by the Pharisees and
other religious groups'. 'To
counteract this thinking•, we
recognize that Christ never did a -
Miracle for His own =well-being.
i e.g: He fed • the multitude
because of. his compassion and
concern for . their need of food
to ease - their hunger and
discomfort. lie raised Lazarus,
the brother of Mary and Martha
from the grave because • of his
pity for thent. ,These and many
others of his miracles speak of
the unselfishness otChrist.
When wesearch out the'
effects and meaning of--Christ's--
miracles in the Pauline doctrine
we, discover that it is' strongly
flavoured with an explanation of
the .humbleness that was ever
present in His character.
